Police Remembrance Day 2017 - Mansfield Service

The town of Mansfield and wider Police Service Area of Benalla came together today to remember Police Officers throughout Australasia who have given their lives in the line of duty.  As an ex Victorian Police Officer, Remembrance Day holds special significance and as new comers to Mansfield it was lovely to see the community gather together for the Remembrance Day Service.  The service was appropriately held at the monument in the middle of town erected in memory of three officers Michael Kennedy, Thomas Lonigan and Micahael Scanlan who were murdered at Stringybark Creek in October 1878 by the Kelly Gang.
